Extreme Sheep

It's a light display! It's a sheepherding display! It's a combination extravaganza!

Look, if you haven't seen it, there isn't any way to describe this. Just watch it. It's amazing what a few bored shepherds can do with sheep. Um, and LED lights.

Morikami Museum and Japanese Gardens

If you are ever in South Florida you could do worse than to go to the Morikami Museum and Japanese Gardens. From their webpage:

Since its opening in 1977, The Morikami Museum and Japanese Gardens has been a center for Japanese arts and culture in South Florida, with rotating exhibitions in its galleries, tea ceremonies performed monthly in its Seishin-an tea house, an educational outreach program with local schools and organizations, and Japanese traditional festivals celebrated for the public several times a year.

Oh hai! Try to make it to the anime festival. They do a good job.

15 Reasons Mr. Rogers Was The Best Neighbor Ever

The Mental Floss blog has an old article about Mr. Rogers. My friend said...

"He was such a friend to me growing up. It was sometimes really scary at my house growing up, and he genuinely comforted me. I wish I would have written and told him before he died.."

And he probably would have answered. We loved him too.

A good man.

Superhero Costumes

I've always hated the costumes they use in the movies for Superman and/or Batman. Either they look like ill-fitting cloth (old school) or nearly immobilizing rubber (new school).

I always said they should just get a buff guy and have him run around in red shorts and a cape, and use CGI to overlay his skin with a costume. Jim Lee (perhaps the best comic artist. Period.) said he just draws them naked and colors on a costume.

Here's a guy who used body paint for the same effect. And IMHO, this is possibly the best Superman costume I have ever seen in real life.

Proof once again that I am a genius. And only slightly evil.
